Note: The cadastral (land parcel) datasets are created and maintained by Natural Resources Canada (Surveyor General Branch), and although the geometry remains unchanged, we have replaced the original attributes with our own. It is important to understand and accept that the data is not to be used for defining boundaries. Administrative decisions should be based on legal documents and legal survey plans.
